Control theory research, for application to aerospace and smart grids
The Masahiro Ono #39;s Group engages in cutting edge research on stochastic optimal control theory, as well as its applications to aerospace engineering and green technology. Dr. Ono #39;s passion for this research comes from his childhood experience. Q. When I was 7 or 8, there was this sensational news: Voyager 2 #39;s encounter with Neptune. The spacecraft sent us beautiful pictures of the other blue planet, which is 4 billion kilometers away. I was very excited. So my dream was to become a space engineer to build a spacecraft and make exciting discoveries as Voyager did. But then a question arose: how could Voyager automatically conduct complicated tasks, such as navigating through planets, taking pictures, and precisely pointing its antennae to the Earth, while it takes 8 hours to communicate with the Earth? I learned when I was a college student that the enabling technology is control engineering. That is why I chose this path. Dr. Ono is particularly focusing on a technology called chance-constrained optimal control. When operating in an unknown environment such as space, an autonomous system is subject to significant uncertainty, which poses the risk of unforeseeable problems. Chance-constrained optimal control operates an uncertain system with a maximum efficiency while guaranteeing that the risk is within a user-specified threshold. Besides theoretical studies, Dr. Ono has also conducted various applied researches. For example, at NASA #39;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, he ...From:keiouniversityViews:0 0ratingsTime:04:15More inScience Technology
